El Assico Cy-Hawk predictions

[guffus]

Am I the only Iowa fan that was not aware that the annual Cy-Hawk game is now commonly referred to as "El Assico"

Origin of the Name

• El Clásico:
  The term "El Assico" is a play on the name "El Clásico," which refers to the iconic rivalry between two Spanish football clubs, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
• "Assy" Quality:
  The "Ass" part of "El Assico" is a humorous and slightly derogatory term that players and fans sometimes use to describe the quality of play in the game, suggesting it's not always a skillful, high-level exhibition but rather a scrappy, intense affair.

Anyway i predict Iowa will upset the Cyclones in Ames by 10 points.

Mark Gronowski's passing will improve dramatically and Iowa will put together a couple of first half scoring drives. The Iowa defense will struggle early but will lock it down in the 2nd half as Iowa's running game takes over in the 4Q.

I’ve only seen it on r/CFB. Anyhow, the clowns are way too confident going into this game. I am expecting we give them an ass whooping.

El Assico is a reddit thing but it fits.

My prediction remains unchanged

Yeah, not too sure we pull this out, but who the heck am I to rain on anyone's parade:

Hawks 17, Clones 16. We block a late extra point for the W
